I wrote a ya romantasy novel as I genuinely enjoy reading and writing young adult scifi/fantasy/romance. So far only my grandmother has read it.

I finished writing my first novel after 5 years and several top to bottom rewrites. I'm afraid to try the publishing route as I have no credentials, contacts, or accolades/publications. My life is such a mess of disappointments, disasters, and failure that I'm a generally demoralized person. Getting out of bed every day is a huge task, and I wouldn't know where to start. I also don't have the money to relentlessly advertise if I self published. Trouble is I'll feel like my life will be even more of a waste if I don't do anything.

I wrote a ya romantasy novel and I'm planning one in a sci-fi setting. I've thought about doing a ya contemporary one, but I don't think I could pull it off without some sort of hook. I truly enjoy reading and writing romance, especially ya.
